gora" and "Tiotohatton" he witnessed the torture of captives, 

 part of fifty prisoners taken in the South and just arriving at the 

 Seneca towns. Either he did not meet the missionaries or neg- 

 lected to report their presence, and it is curious to note that his 

 visit was not mentioned in their reports. It is possible that they 

 mutually ignored each other. Greenhalgh's statements do not 

 always agree with those of others. For instance, he states ex- 

 plicitly that the Seneca towns were not stockaded, yet Galinee, 

 a trained and unusually accurate observer described only seven 

 years before, the palisades of the town in which he stayed and 

 the priests spoke definitely of the palisades about the new town 

 of Gandougarae or St. Michel. Gandagora was so defended, as 

 witness the earth-works still existing as late as Squier's time. 

 Greenhalgh mentioned one of the towns as "Canoenada". Sub- 

 stituting the French G for the English C we have the French 

 name Ganoenada, or as Denonville wrote it "Gannounata". But 

 Greenhalgh placed his town south of "Canagora" and Denon- 

 ville placed Gannounata south of Totiakto. 



The war with the Andastes came to an official end in i677. 

 In 1673, the Senecas had begged Count Frontenac for help to 

 fight the "Andastoguez the sole enemies remaining". In 

 August, 1677, Colonel Coursey was instructed that ''four cas- 

 tles of the Senecas were still on the war-path against the Sus- 

 quehannas". (Andastes) (*1) Many of the Andastes had sur- 

 rendered themselves to the Senecas and others of the Iroquois 

 and had gone, some voluntarily, some by force, to Sonnontouan 

 and the other cantons. A party of Andastes had fled to the 

 Senecas after killing some Virginia and Maryland settlers. 



It seems entirely probable that both the Andastes and the 

 Delawares had formally submitted to the Senecas at a confer- 

 ence which was held at Shackamaxon, March 14-18, 1677. (*2) 



In September, 1678, the Governor of Maryland wrote Gov- 

 ernor Andros of New York that the Senecas were molesting 

 both Indians and Christians in that province. In reply Gov- 

 ernor Andros doubted that the Senecas would do such a thing 

 "having always been very good and faithful to this Govern- 

 ment". But four years later, August 3, 1682, the Senecas were
